Emmy Award telecast moves to Monday on NBC next year

The next Primetime Emmy Awards will move to Monday night to avoid a huge potential tackle by "Sunday Night Football." NBC and the Television Academy said Tuesday that the three-hour telecast will air on Sept. 17. The last time the Emmys were staged on a Monday was in 2014.
